Pagey Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Unusual aircraft. Kit was very nice to build, a bit of flash in places which hindered fit, however, these were soon dealt with with a scalpel or sanding stick. I built the kit out of the box. Only added some home made seat belts in the cockpit. The kit allows for large panels to be left off to show off the gun bays and engine. I didnt want to leave too much off the engine area so I cut out small access panels to expose the detail. The gun bay access hatch I wasnt sure if it was removed completely or hinged up like a Me 262. Decided to add a bit of brass wire as a prop and have the access hatch hinged up for interest. The national marking were painted using home made masks. This is a really tall aircraft when you add the landing gear.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Great looking Shinden 👍 ... Built the old Hasegawa kit in the late ‘80’s and it is tall, but i never did it justice. I need to build one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagey Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thanks guys. It was a nice kit to build. Not much sanding needed if you fettle some of the parts first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
